[1]König 36: A Third Way of Setting and Tracking Goals:
Rainer König is back with a followup to his previous video on
setting and tracking goals that I wrote about [2]a week ago. This
time he approaches the task [3]using hierarchial tags. With
hierarchial tags, you give a set of related tags a group name and
can then search or filter the tags by the group name. You can even
describe the members of a group with a regular expression so you
don't need to know what they are in advance.
That works out perfectly for König's purpose because he can tag each
individual goal with a unique tag that ties together all the tasks
related to that goal and can also refer to all goals by using the
group name. See the video for the details on how he used it for
tracking goals.
I didn't know about hierarchial tags before but it's easy to imagine
lots of use cases for them. The Org Mode manual page for them [4]is
here. If you like using tags to tie things together, you should
definitely take a look at hierarchial tags. You can even have
sub-groups (and sub- sub-groups, etc.) so the device is very
flexible.

I've been revamping my org setup to better track all the things, so
this will prove most useful.
